A degree of confusion has surrounded Frank Lampard's headed goal against Sunderland at the weekend and which milestone it represents.
chelseafc.com was joined by other sources in initially reporting the goal as his 100th Premier League success but since then questions have been raised.
While Chelsea club records are clear his total for the Blues is 76 league goals, a grey area over his West Ham total came to light with many sources quoting 24 league goals while others were on 23.
So chelseafc.com contacted West Ham's club historian John Hellier whose records show 23 goals. Hellier believes the confusion dates back to a game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in May 1998 when with Lampard about to score, Palace's Sasa Curcic slid in to tackle and accidentally turned the ball in for an own-goal. It was published as a Lampard goal in some reports.
Lampard's goal on Saturday remains a milestone. One goal scored on loan at Swansea means it was his 100th league goal. But he needs one more in the top flight for a century of Premier League goals.
